  • the two clamp portions 38 are located substantially in opposite end portions on the diameter of the band member 33.
  • the clamp portions 38 are clamped by a known jig to be pressed such that the diameter of the band member 33 is decreased.

  • the shield member 23 is molded such that the outer layer member 21 and the inner layer member 22 made of rubber are formed on the outer and the inner surfaces of the shield member 23.
  • This provides the protector 20 having the portions of the inner surfaces of the shield member 23 corresponding to the first and the second connecting portions 23A and 23B are exposed (without having the inner layer member 22 made of rubber).
  • Another method of forming the shield member 23 without having the inner layer member 22 in the end portions 23A and 23B is, for example, as follows. After the outer layer member 21 and the inner layer member 22 are formed over entire areas of the outer and inner surfaces of the shield member 23, the inner layer member 22 formed in the end portion on the inner surface is scraped off with a knife.
  • the protector 20 is fitted over the end portion of the casing 16 in which the electric wires 11 are connected to the device. Consequently, the protector 20 is arranged so as to extend from the end portion of the pipe 15 to the end portion of the casing 16.
  • each clamp band 30 is prepared to have a gap between the two end parts of the band member 33. This improves workability of fitting the clamp band 30 to the outer surface of the protector 20.

  • the clamp portions 38 of the second clamp member 30B are pressed and deformed by a known jig. This deformation decreases the diameter of the band member 33 and thus the protector 20 and the casing 16 are firmly fixed to each other by the second clamp band 30. In such a state, the inner surface of the shield member 23 is in contact with the outer surface of the metal pipe 15 and the outer surface of the casing 16.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the shield conductor 10 after clamping the metal pipe 15 with the first clamp band 30A.

This deforms the first C-ring 70A and decreases the diameter of the first C-ring 70A. Accordingly, the protector 60 and the metal pipe 15 are firmly fixed to each other by the first C-ring 70A (refer to FIGS. 7 and 10 ).
  • a portion of the protector 60 that corresponds to the second connecting portion 63B is clamped from outside by a known jig. This deforms the second C-ring 70B and decreases the diameter of the second C-ring 70B.
  • the protector 60 and the casing 16 are firmly fixed to each other by the second C-ring 70B, resulting such a state, the outer peripheral surface of the metal pipe 15 is in contact with the first C-ring 70A that is connected to the shield member 63 and the outer peripheral surface of the casing 16 is in contact with the second C-ring 70B that is connected to the shield member 63. Accordingly, the shield member 63 is electrically connected to the metal pipe 15 in the first connecting portion 63A and the shield member 63 is electrically connected to the casing 16 in the second connecting portion 63B. Configurations other than the above are similar to those in the first embodiment.
  • the protector 60 includes the tubular outer layer member 61 made of flexible insulation and the tubular flexible shield member 63 made of a conductive material.
  • the outer layer member 61 is arranged to extend from the first connecting portion 63A to the second connecting portion 63B.
  • the first connecting portion 63A is connected to the metal pipe 15 and the second connecting portion 63B is connected to the casing 16.
  • the shield member 63 is provided on the inner surface of the outer layer member 61 so as to be integral with each other.
  • the electric wire 11 including the connecting portion connected to the device can be protected only by fitting the protector 60 to the electric wire 11 that are connected to the device in the casing 16 and passed through the metal pipe 15.
  • the protector 60 only by attaching the protector 60 to the electric wires 11, the electrical connection is established between the first connecting portion 63A of the shield member 63 and the metal pipe 15 and between the second connecting portion 63B of the shield member 63 and the casing 16. This simplifies a work of attaching a member for the electromagnetic shielding and electric wire protection.
  • the tubular inner layer member 62 made of flexible insulation is provided to integrally sandwich the shield member 63 included in the protector 60 with the outer layer member 61.
  • the inner layer member 62 is arranged on the inner surface of the shield member 63 excluding the inner surface of the shield member 63 corresponding to the first and the second connecting portions 63A and 63B.
  • the first C-ring 70A and the second C-ring 70B are fitted to the portions of the protector 60 corresponding to the first connecting portion 63A and the second connecting portion 63B, respectively. This ensures the electrical connection between the shield member 63 and the metal pipe 15 and between the shield member 63 and the casing 16.
  • the C-rings 70 are connected to the inner surface of the shield member 63 in the protector 60. Therefore, the protector 60 and the fixing members 70 are provided as a single member. Further, when manufacturing the protector 60, masking of the shield member 63 is not necessary and it is not necessary to scrape off a portion of a rubber member to obtain the inner layer member 62.
  • the outer layer member 61 is made of rubber. Therefore, the first connecting portion 63A is pressed to the end portion of the metal pipe 15 due to the elasticity of the outer layer member 61 and the connection between the shield member 63 and the metal pipe 15 can be secured. The second connecting portion 63B is pressed to the end portion of the casing 16 due to the elasticity of the outer layer member 61 and the connection between the shield member 63 and the casing 16 can be secured. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the inner layer member 62 is made of rubber, and this ensures the connection between the protector 60 and the metal pipe 15 and between the protector 60 and the casing 16.
